Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

My brother bought one on Saturday for £2, they are still out there at sensible money if you can be bothered looking, the problem is that eBay is the lazy way to shop, I bought a BM ammeter on the same day for £1!

I've never paid more than £25 for one...Ian

Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

And a date code of April 45! so using up old stocks for civvy machines??

At jumbles/shows you can still find them for reaosanable prices, but this is really extreme! getting to be Indian/Harley prices!!

Cheers,

Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

['getting to be Indian/Harley prices!!']...

The problem is that doesn't apply to the finished machine... ...

It's crazy really, when you think I paid less than that for a complete NOS Triumph gearbox...

Unfortunately you have to take some account of what a part might fetch on the open market and that just makes it more difficult when selling to friends...

The last one I sold, which was after a couple of them had sold for £150 on e bay, I sold to a friend for £40...

Would I do that again?....I'm not sure...Ian

So does that mean WD ones should have a chrome bezel?

It has 837 stamped on the back, wouldn't that be August 1937?

Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

It turns out that I bought it but I am not the winning bidder. Whoever that was came in at the last moment with a friend and tripled the price. The seller got ahold of me to let me know they weren't paying and offered it at the last good bid price, which was £154. The price I paid is still considerable but I have not been able to find one through other sources here in the U.S. - the £2 price or even £40 would have been much better.

Cheers,
Justin

Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

I've had this a couple of times with a side car lamp. Someone supposedly from France and someone from India bid the lamp up to stupid money in minutes. I don't know what the scam was all about, but I refused to deal with these wankers and offered it to the last bloke who made a sensible bid. I got threats from these other guys about reporting me to ebay. But I just told them to piss off and never heard again till they tried exactly the same thing on another mediocre item. Ron

Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

I have one of these ammeter in my 1947 B31, happy to swap for two ordinary WDM20 ammeters

I wonder what the idea is behind this bidding up to that silly amount.

I have an old amp gauge if anyone wants to swap it for the front wheel bearing lock rings (part numbers 67-5561 and 67-5562) for a 8" Half Width front hub for my new project (1951 golden flash). I am in oz.

Sorry, I did not look at all the pictures, and assumed the model number he quoted was part of the date code, silly me!

Mike, am sure someone will take you up on that!
Sounds like a good deal.

Re: Who bought this Lucas CZ27? I knew they are getting expensive.

Ebay is a very weird place to do 'business' - I've repeatedly bid on items which the 'seller' would not supply because they didn't earn enough -
ebay does nothing.

Though I recently shamed a UK seller into supplying a flat slide carb I had won (£6) - by posting a VERY negative feedback

I've purchase a bike (Bultaco) which the buyer had outbid me on and paid for, but was never heard from again ?????

My cuz had £1000 deposit laid down on a Laverda Jota, 'buyer' never been heard from again (bikes now been sold to someone else) ...

I've sold +10 year old marine electronics (autopilot) for £3 less than a new item .....

I've sold out of date marine charts and pilot notes, for £5 less than new ones (used to do this every two years ...).

I recently made a VERY serious offer on a complete 3HW engine - as he wouldn't break (cams) - was outbid, the 'buyer' never paid or collected, I repeated the offer as 2nd highest - but no ....
He broke it, and I bought the bits I wanted for considerably less than my offer.

A very very weird place.

Sad that it has had such a distorting effect on values ....?
